In the basketball world, starting from the 99 World Youth Championship

Chapter 57 Paul, you have to work hard
Doug Collins didn't talk too much. This team didn't have the fiery passion when the Bulls were the coach. Now, after years of tempering in the league, he has begun to become smoother.

Mike Breen can't say anything more. In terms of starting lineup, Derek McGee is still the false starter. Unless he plays well, Zhang Tian will definitely stand up from the bench.

Pierce was very dissatisfied with Larry Bird's formation. He thought that he was so provocative before the game. The Boston legend should let his disciple start, but the king was completely unmoved.

The starters for the Pacers are Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Derek McGee, Austin Crohill and Rick Schmitz. Among them, Austin Crohill at the fourth position is also full of pressure. Xiao Ao's talent is obvious to the naked eye. If he doesn't work harder, he will definitely be pushed to the bench and never come back.

The lineup for the Celtics is Kenny Anderson, Adrian Griffin, Paul Pierce, Antoine Walker and Vitali Potapanko, who overwhelmed Kobe to enter the league.

As the point guard of the Celtics, Kenny Anderson no longer has the demeanor of the former All-Star point guard, but he can still contribute 14 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds. This is the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse Bar.

Now Kenny Anderson has completely lost the speed of the past. At the Pacers halftime, the first thing to do is to give the ball to Pierce. The Celtics No. 34 got the ball. Inside, a beautiful float shot, scored the ball, and Derrick McGee couldn't keep up at all.

Pierce's expression was very stern. When he returned to halftime, he glanced at Zhang Tian who was sitting on the bench. His expression seemed to say, "Boy, hurry up and play, or your teammates will be blown away." .

Facing Pierce's provocation from the air, Zhang Tian didn't feel the slightest fluctuation in his heart. When the Pacers attacked, Mark Jackson pushed Kenny Anderson, a small guard, into the inside with his big ass behind his back, and faced Pierce who came to assist in the defense. Defense, or hit the ball in the mid-range shot.

Both sides looked very good in the first round. The Celtics attacked for the second time. Kenny Anderson wanted to pass the ball to Pierce, but Antoine Walker retreated from the inside to the three-pointer. Stretched out a hand to ask for the ball, big ass passed it over, Austin Crosier wanted to follow up and continue to defend, but the speed of foot movement was not at the same level as Fat Toutuo, brush, this one lives on the three-point line On the man, actually got off to a good start,

After seeing the three-pointer, Walker's mouth was open. Pierce was a little upset. If he gave the ball to him just now, he could also score. Hey, there is no way. Now Pitino is covering the sky in Boston. They can't compete with Walker, because the Celtics not only have Walker, a player from KFC, but also Walter McCarty on the bench. Compared with the opponent, he has no alumni from Kansas in Boston.

Larry Bird looked at the time of the game and did not call a timeout. The rhythm of the two sides was very fast. The Celtics were shooting, and the Pacers were Mark Jackson and Reggie Miller.

This situation continued until 7 minutes into the first quarter, when the dead ball appeared and the official timeout came. During this time, Pierce did not take much advantage of Derrick McGee, because the points he generally wanted to get The method is to go to the inside line for layups and throw shots. As a result, the Dutchman Schmitz has room to play. He blocked Pierce 2 times in a row.

"Derek, you have a rest, Zhang Shang, remember to run, don't stand still like your feet are glued, Austin, come down too, Jermaine, Jermaine, I want you to play You can follow Antoine, wherever he goes, you go."

Babyface nodded. Compared with Austin Crosher, Jr.'s biggest advantage is his speed, and his offensive end is stronger than the No. 97 pick in 12. It's just that he has been the patron saint of drinking fountains in the Blazers for too many years. This This season is really his first season.

Big Ben sighed a little on the side, he is also fast compared to his speed, why didn't Larry Bird give himself a chance.

Rick Pitino didn't make much adjustments. Pierce saw Zhang Tian playing, and he was so excited that he didn't want to. From now on, it's time for him to really become famous. Kill this rookie, and I will be the top of the league. Flow number three.

When Zhang Tian runs without the ball, Pierce will still give the opponent physical contact. He just consumes Zhang Tian and feels that his physical strength is stronger than the opponent.

Mark Jackson didn't pass the ball to Zhang Tian. It's not that he doesn't know Pierce's provocative words, but as a point guard, the Pacers' starting point guard knows when to pass and when not to pass.

Reggie Miller was very happy. After Zhang Tian came up, he was relieved. The number 34 of the Celtics dared to come to help defense unscrupulously. He came to help defend Zhang Tian and it was empty.

Reggie Miller took the ball in the face of Adrian Griffin, and the forward and guard swingman who was undrafted on the opposite side really flew up. The Pacers No. 34 did not pause any longer and shot directly from the outside. The sound was when the Celtics shooting guard hit the ground and collided with Reggie Miller, followed by the sound of the trash talker hitting iron. It was a long rebound. Zhang Tian turned around and swayed behind Pierce to get the rebound. He shot directly on the spot, and at the moment of the jumper, the Celtics No. 34 behind him also reacted. Duang rang, and Steve Javi's whistle also rang.

The ball in the air did not hit the iron, but fell into the basket. Jia Wei made a two-point effective gesture and pointed to the free throw line at the same time. This is two plus one. Pierce felt his anger was full. .

"Mr. Referee, I didn't touch that rookie's hand just now. What I touched was the ball. You shouldn't foul me."

Pierce was chattering in front of Jarvie, the latter was very painful, and now there is no zero-tolerance rule, which has caused this group of morons who can't even reach the average IQ of ordinary people to make progress.The reason why Pierce was disqualified from the Hall of Fame due to his big mouth in his previous life is also related to this. During David Stern’s period, active players were banned, and retired players were beeping, because they knew what those idiots dared to say, but Xiao Hua was different. Yes, that guy is a master who can do anything for money, and everyone has seen it.

Zhang Tian scored the ball and looked at Pierce, "Hey Paul, I already scored 3 points, you have to work hard."
